(YT) Tourneur goes easy with this kind of material; makes pauses for romance (nice editing of Calhoun and pretty Tierney in the open space), and has some action in the jesuitic estancias near Cordoba, Argentina.

(OK) Its a long long anecdote, build on moving trailer slapstick gags (Lucy trying to cook breaking eggs, falling in the mud, etc; Desi driving in a high road, that's a good one); and has his americana charm on it, with families in summer trunks and all that stuff

(Canal Filmoteca Unam) Extraordinario Rosalío mendoza, la ambiguedad, la personalidad, no hay juego claro con él y sin embargo cuantos sentimientos; Lolita lo complementa perfectamente. Grandes secuencia donde se lucen secundarios como el asistente y el general gobiernista

Rara, grave, expresionista en decorados y cuadros (algunos inclinados), drama de miradas pues los actores son pausados y declamativos (Emma Roldán que gran secundaria es); todo se resume en el aún más irreal convento

(OK) Wise wise; he learns to direct great actresses (Neal and Parker better than Roman), stay with them in good close ups, enmarked in windows and gates), good mixinf of the 3 stories

(YT Canal Filmoteca UNAM) Gran historia, thriller y melodrama con fonde de revolución, diálogos perversos, y un final forzado para esquivar el otro final que debió ser en el paredón.

(YT Canal Filmoteca UNAM) Buena copia restaurada de un Gavaldón que se luce componiendo sobre grandes decorados, incluyendo la típica buhardilla ´rincón de cielo´. La Dolores glamorosa le gana de lejos a la otra, pero una vez que muere, se funden las dos. Hasta hay una procesión de navidad previa al crimen

(OK) The best is not the Minnelli segmento with peotry fan Caron; but Reinhardts segment with Sheares. She dance for the camera, never forgets to act, her big number is well edited with Mason's reaction. In Minnellis is the artificial charm of Rome, and in the last Reinhardt´s episode set decors and languid Pier, oposed to passionate Douglas, goes above the plot.

(OK) The causl love affair mount up ok, the city is present (a bit forced the idea of Central Park sounds are music without Judy singing), the confusion in the metro, the night delivering the milk of James Gleason; but there's a non originaln, non inspired, predicatble story...

(OK) Fleming is a bronco director, so vital, bright in the firs part in (supposedly) Chile; but then when he has to serve the shenanigans between Gable and Grason, approaches ridicule. The fights between them and Blondell, are so grandilocuent that the gestures and brawls couldn't improve. Mitchell is to good, what a waste to have one of his best roles here¡
